Through a haze of pain, I heard the wailing of sirens. A man in a uniform
pushed through the crowd of chanting women, saying, "Let me through. I know
CPR and I know DTP." As he leaned over to place the oxygen mask over my
face, he whispered to me, "And I know women…"
The momentary peace was suddenly pierced by an ear-shattering roar from a
motorcycle engine. The door was thrown open and I heard the thwack, thwack,
thwack of heavy boots on linoleum. Simultaneously, the DTP Women gasped,
"Ohhhhhh….!" and then all was silent.
I strained to sit up so I could discover what kind of human being could
have the power to *silence* the DTP Women. Though my vision was still hazy,
I could see a dark-haired man with a helmet under one arm and a Personal
Publishing magazine under the other. He looked somehow familiar…. Where
had I seen that face before….?
